My deepest sympathy to Karen's family and friends. Karen was amazing...her skills at hospitality are unequaled. She served our Woman's Club of Royersford luncheons for the 20 some years I was a member. She was always kind and humble, remembering our drinks preferences and seeing to our every need. She will be remembered for her grace and sweet giggle. Rest in Peace
